NEWS FROM STANLEY. He was Making Progress Toward
 Wadelai Late in July.

ST. PAUL DE LoANpA, Oct. 2.-According to news received at Bona from the upper Congo Stanley was pushing forward, and the only difficulties he met with were the natural ob- stacles of the country. About July 25 the ex- petition had ascended the Aruwimi River to the elevated country belonging to the Mabode district. The river becoming to narrow, they left the rafts, and the men for several days had to carry a double burden of provisions. The steel whalcboat was carried past tho nar- rows and again launched.
 Stanley calculated that upon arriving at the summit of the table lands giving shape to the basin of the Aruwimi the expedition wC'dld halt two days for . rest, and would establish a camp there to be garrisoned by twenty men with European officer. The districts trav- ersed were Tranquil, and little difficulty was experienced in obtaining provisions from tho natives. The progress of the expedition aver aged twenty kilometres daily.
 Tippu Tib, in his last message. wrote that he was still at his post at Stanley Falls await ing reenforcements. He had gained the good will of several neighboring chiefs. Owing to the disturbed state of the cou- y Tppu lib could not, as he agreed to, org nize & revict- ualling caravan to despatch direct to Albert Nyanza, but he intended to do 80 as soon as possible. Disquiet continued between Stanley Falls and the confluence of the Aruwimi and the Congo, and many villages had been pill laged. It is believed that the garrison which Stanley left at Yambuga has been forced to interfere to maintain order in the neighbor- ho~d

The Southern Cross Pearl.

The extraordinary pearl known as the Southern Cross Pearl" is a freak of nature which has not yet been explained. The pearl was found at Roeburn, west ern Australia, and consists of nine pearls adhering together in the form of a Latin cross, seven in the shaft and two in the arms, one on each side of the shaft, nearly opposite the second pearl from the top. The pearls arc slightly compressed, like peas in pod, and no trace of any artificial junction can be observed. It has been suggested that a fragment of sea weed may have got into the shell and formed the frame of the construction. The pearls arc of fine quality, though slightly misshapen at parts, and the value of the gem is very high. Its character is unique, and filled the owner-an Irishman named Kelly with superstitious awe, which led him to secret it for some tinlc -[ Engineer inc

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Tho Ant Plague.

The ant question attracts general at- tention. A lady says to the Boston Journal: Having become quite interested in reading in the Journal the various ways suggested of getting rid of ants, l will tell you our experience. Many years ago small army of tiny rcd ants took entire possession of our store closet one fine spring morning, and remained until cool weather. They liked the To- cation, and every year returned, we giv- ing them full sweep. We were advised to try tar, which we did, placing a large chunk on dish in corner of the shelf. The ants left and have never re- turned to that closet or any other part of the house. The same piece of tar has stood in the sam, place for more than fifteen years. The remedy is very simple one, and can do no harm if it does no good.

Drinking to the Mark.

The phrases, "he's in a merry pin," and "take him down a peg" we owe to tho wisdom of King Edgar, who, ac- cording to Strut, made strenuous efforts to suppress the drinking customs of his subjects. He would only permit each village to have one ale-housc, and placed further restrictions on tho inhabi- tants by the singular method of causing pins or pegs to be affixed at intervals iu the drinking cups, which were made of wood or horn. Whoever drank beyond these marks at one draught became liable to penalty. But the author of "Curiositics of Ale and Beer' says that this ingenious device was of little real use, and eventually led to increased drinking, so much so that in 1102 An selm issued the decree: "Let no priests go to drinking bouts, or drink to pegs" Such 6tinking Ito pegs" was commonly called pin drinking, or pinnicking, from which latter, perhaps, may came the modern word '''picnic."
 It is said that Haydn, while he was residing in England, was fond of con- pany, but did not like his guests to re- main in his house beyond certain period. If one of his friends was be- coming tircsome, the great composer would suddenly start to his feet, place his hand to his forehead and remark: 1T have a tot, I have tot" This meant that he had a thought" an idea, and must retire for moment to note it down. But when he returned to the room it was frequently observed that he had taken advantage of the opportunity to refresh himself; hence possibly the expression, "a tot of spirits" While treating of spirits, we may glance at the word ''gin," which is derlvcd from the Dutch, who call their hollands (their National spiriD "giniva." This term they have drawn from the French "geni evre," juniper; juniper berries being used in flavoring the gin made at Schie- dam from unmaltcd ryc.-[All the Year Round
